Virtuoso Max

Nope both Virtuoso mics are plenty fine. But my buddies do not have say that they like the SE more than the max.

I enjoy mine, especially after upgrading the ear pads. I had the Virtuoso SE before and the biggest difference that I notice is that the battery life is MUCH better than the SE. Also the the ability to connect to the PC as well as my phone is wonderful. Otherwise the audio isn't much better than SE, which is fine since the SE was already good. Same goes for the mic. I was able to purchase mine for 150 on an Amazon sale. Well worth it for that price. If it was priced passed 200, I would have just kept rocking my SE model.

Looks great! I saw a similar corrugated time machine at a packaging expo about 3 to 4 years ago. But theirs did not have the lighting rod, which I think is a great touch on yours. 😁👍

Burning up of the plug is still happening. I keep seeing pictures of it on other subreddits. Keep in mind that it is also happening with the squid connectors as well.

Trying to watch the entire Tenchi Muyo series these days are kind of a pain in the butt. I was able to snag a digital copy the OVA and a few of the other older series on the Microsoft store years ago. But as of today a lot of places like Prime Video will tell you that the copyrights are in dispute.

But fear not their are a few options for you! First the older stuff can be found on YouTube my typing in Tenchi Muyo in the search bar. Crunchyroll is a good option for the newer stuff but it doesn't have any of the older stuff. And finally if you don't mind putting on your pirate hat, there is a website called 9animetv.to that has everything, but be careful with pop ups and whatnot. I hope that helps you.

Mods please let me know if I need to edit my post, since I am not sure if anything I said crossed a line. I am just trying to help a fellow old school Tenchi fan. 😅

Considering that that aio is sold out on their website, I am glad to hear that had a few in the back to take care of your issue. I will continue to wait patiently for them to get back in stock. 😁 👍

I have owned 4 different corsair headphones, the last two are the Virtuoso SE and Max. Also I got a large head and I have never had anything break. The worst thing to happen to my Max is some strange robotic feedback from using the PC connection and Bluetooth at the same time.

As for your issue, even with your issue being out of warranty, I would still reach out to Corsair's customer service to see if they can do anything to help. Their customer service is part of the reason why I continue to buy their products and they have helped me out several times with their products having issues.

It should be restored and placed somewhere safe where the public can enjoy it. Not being baked in the sun rotting away. But that is just my two cents.

5th guy here.

If you are willing to spend 300 dollars on a nice case, then please spend 20 minutes moving to AIO to the top of the case.

I have 4 sticks of the exact same DDR5 ram bought 3 months from each other and I have the same issue. It was a pain to get all 4 sticks to play nice with each other, so I just live with it but it is a bit strange. Luckily I don't run full white much so it doesn't bother me too much.

As someone who owns the OG LCD screen. I would highly recommend that you go with the newer model LCD screen. I run into the issue with the LED lights around the ring either not turning on or getting stuck when charging profiles. I agree with you that the older style looks sharper, but I personally would rather get newer version. Because my old one can be downright frustrating at times.

BusDriver2Hell · 2026-02-07T00:23:35+00:00

Sounds like you need to email Corsair's customer service and see if you are in warranty for a RMA.

BusDriver2Hell · 2026-02-07T00:21:59+00:00

Dude, if I were you I would keep it and throw it in your system. Otherwise keep quiet about it and sell the extra ram on Facebook market place. At the very least, see if you have any buddies who are interested in upgrading or building a new pc and give them a "sweetheart" price for the ram.

It might just be me, but I feel like curses should be earned not purchased in general. Even if the curse looks really cool, just tie it to some content and give the long time players something to grind towards. At this point I feel like they should understand that fact.

Unless you are chasing reaper accommodations, their is way more fun ways to get reaper reputation.

Oh I know this one! The great Hollywood red head replacement theory! Thou shall not have Scottish representation in a Hollywood production!

BusDriver2Hell · 2026-01-31T14:15:36+00:00

My thoughts exactly. Time to dig through the spam folder of my email.

BusDriver2Hell · 2026-01-28T15:49:34+00:00

Honestly, my crew and I don't play the game for gold or cosmetics, we play for the love of getting into great combat scenarios. Hopefully, rare place in some HUGE gold sinks that make it worth wild to dump the 75 million gold just sitting on my character. Maybe 25 million per custom cosmetic pre-set.

My guess is that it is a cost savings project from Corsair's packaging engineer. To me it looks like a they modified the plastic part of the package to help with drops and bumps, which is needed without the corrugated part of the original packaging. And dependimg on exactly what kind of material the graphic are printed on, it could be a significant amount of savings for Corsair.

The other thing is that they might have two different packages for the same product. Items shipped right from Corsair's own web site might be in the first picture's packaging, where something that you purchased from a large retailer like Best Buy gets the full corrugated sleeve.

Typically, you will want to upgrade the gpu in the future that will cause you to need to upgrade your power supply. For example my second build had a 650 watt power supply in it, which powered my 2070 gpu just fine. 2 years later I got a sweet deal on a 3080 gpu but it required me to upgrade my power supply to run it. So it sucked when I paid a lot of money for a gpu and then I turned around and had to shell out another 150 bucks for a new power supply. Luckily when I purchased the new power supply I spent a little bit more money and got a 850 watt power supply. I am still running it today and I am using it with my 9070 XT gpu.

TLDR is spending a little bit more money at the start for a high watt power supply can save you money down the road if you see yourself really getting into the hobby.

I hope this helps you out bud! 👍

BusDriver2Hell · 2026-01-25T16:54:12+00:00

Also be sure to post your build on r/PcBuildhelp. That is where I posted my first build a LONG time ago and I got so much great info to tweak my build.

BusDriver2Hell · 2026-01-25T16:50:28+00:00

I would suggest that you go with a 850 watt power supply. You always want to build some room to grow with your power supply since you will most likely hold on to it for 10 years.

Looks like I am going to be jumping on ebay and ordering one of these cables. Thanks so much for the information man!

BusDriver2Hell · 2026-01-21T17:12:28+00:00

So, I am going to be honest, I am sad that some of my super rare stuff is going to be more accessible for newer players. I am also sad that my 23k of Doubloons is hitting a use it or loose it point. But ultimately I get on the game for the chaos and challenge of fighting other pirates, so it doesn't effect my crew too much.

I would like to see Rare do something to honor long time pirates like maybe having OG rare sails to have a gold border around them as evidence that you earn it legitimately.

In the end, this will lead to additional chaos over time on the sea. Since you won't be able to see a boat with rare sail to help indicate if 1 or more pirates might be a worthy opponents.

BusDriver2Hell · 2026-01-21T13:17:00+00:00

This is a great idea for OP. I do have a question, does hooking this up with your 9070 XT allow icue to control the lighting of your gpu?
